One of the first personal computers to be sold assembled as well
as in kit form, the IMSAI 8080 is very famous having been used in
the Matthew Broderick film War Games in 1984. The base system
here contains only the basic processor and uses the switches and
lights on the front for input and output. The S-100 bus design did
allow for monitors, keyboards, printers and data storage to be
connected. The system uses an Intel 8080A microprocessor
running at 2.0 MHz and could contain a maximum of 64k. This
machine typically ran BASIC and CP/M. Only 20,000 units were
produced and the unit sold for $599 US as a kit
or $931 assembled.
